How are you doing?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 6/5/18 and I'm over being asked how I am doing. I know everyone is asking out of concern and I do appreciate it, but at the same time I don't want to be asked anymore.. FB, in person, in a text. Every day.. if I'm at Walmart I see someone and they will ask.. last night went to a picnic with my nieces through their church and had 3 people ask, then posted the pics to fb and on that post someone asked me.. does it ever stop? Now I just say I'm doing good and still losing and end it there. I even made a fb post to update everyone because people were asking my husband at work, which stops him from work.. I'm not a center of attention person, so I hate when the conversations turn into how I'm doing.. please tell me it ends soon.. and again I am not at all saying I don't mind the concern, just wondering if it ever stops

Yeah... it won't stop for a while... I mean, until you are like the same size for a long time while. I typically just say "good" and move on.

Look them in the eye and just start screaming. Don't stop screaming. As they back away don't break eye contact. The questions will stop then.

The screaming technique sounds like a solid plan.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
